Edit: Okay! I had left an initial review with some unorganized, initial thoughts, but after seeing several people defending this game with snark and bile to negative reviews I feel the need to elaborate on my issues with the game. If you want to take your helpfuls back that's fine. I've got things to say! There is nothing here that engrosses or even introduces us to the world beyond the tutorial and initial quests, all of which are very shallow. Consider the trendsetter, Stardew, that gives you the same set up (sort of) but also immediately introduces you to Lewis and Robin, characters with a distinct look and personalities. This sets a tone that then carries through of lively townspeople who interact with the player and each other, and to some people motivates them to do the quest to meet everyone. This is an example obviously, it is not something that every cozy game needs to copy and paste, but it demonstrates how a life sim needs to immerse the player into and introduce its world. There needs to be a reason to engage with the gameplay loop, and there isn't one here. Not with story certainly. So then game progression? If you don't care about the story or the characters and are willing to say that EA doesn't need to have these details sorted out (even though many life sims do in EA because it's an important part of the genre) then the gameplay loop needs to be engaging, and this is where I have to agree with other reviewers that it hands you things too fast and without reason. There is also no reason. You broke enough rocks and picked enough grass and now you can care for cats, horses, pandas or grizzlies? Why? And other than searching out a different kind of food there's no change in gameplay between bear and house cat? We don't need to get a special dispensation from the local vet for that at least? Then progress doesn't really matter. It's 1 habitat, 2 habitat, 3. And, as others have said, there's no energy bar, which isn't necessary but does mean that there's no challenge in having more pens. The day-to-day gameplay loop doesn't really vary. I have to admit my biggest disappointment was when the witch was annoyed after one of the early quests, and I was so ready to be cursed or have something happen to me that would cause an issue I needed to surmount or add some flavour and it was nothing. Genuinely, my favourite part was that I could put the pet on the back of my scooter, and that the little light on it turned on at night. I thought the fishing game mechanic was good. I think the animals could use a little more variety in their appearance. Maybe bows? collars? more color variation? If I'm going to see Bella 12 times on an ongoing loop could even the sheep have some character to it? I think it is fair to say this early release does feel pretty soulless. If that isn't your experience with the game then enjoy, but remember that Steam is an arena where a game only has 2 hours to engage it's audience and encourage them to keep playing. An hour is more than people would give a bad movie or a lame book, so it's more than fair to play an hour of this game and admit to yourself that it's just not hitting.

I would like to change my review to positive in the future because I really had high hopes for this game. I understand that it's still in a very early stage and there are thousands of things that will change soon. I want to leave my review for the developers : - The pace of the game is overwhelming; there's no time to deal with the resort's animals, explore, buy food, or get to know the characters. - The mushroom monsters you rescue to help you at the resort do their job very poorly (slow and clumsy). And rather than helping, they leave everything half-finished, so you end up having to do the work yourself if you want to provide good customer service. - It's not at all clear how to get married, or when or how to proceed. The dialogues are very repetitive, and sometimes the characters seem to want nothing to do with your existence except during very specific times. - There are tons of bugs. The character gets stuck a lot, both with the tractor and the boat, and walks ridiculously slowly without any vehicle... - The cutscenes feel completely empty and cheap. There's hardly any context, conversation, or anything interesting to make you want to investigate further or want more of the game. - The fact that the drinking trough don't refill automatically really bothers me. It's like you can automate everything, but I still have to do something as basic and tedious as filling bowls with water? That's supposedly what the monster mushrooms are for... - The animals have no variety (or rather, very little). All the cats are black and white, the dogs have no breed, the sheep are practically identical, and so on with all the animals... This is my opinion, and I've left out many aspects. I'd be happy to return to the game if you improve all these aspects. Best regards ~

I really want to enjoy this game but it needs some major changes. why do you progress from taking care of sheep, then cats, straight to PANDAS? that feels like such an insane jump to me. then it's back to more reasonable animals again, aka horses and dogs. like what???? you'd think the logical way to do this would be to start with more domestic animals before getting to the exotic ones, but no. it's so bizarre. the progression is all over the place and does not feel sensical or linear at all and none of it is ever really explained either, at least not as far as i've gotten. the setup for the story is even worse because what do you mean you fall asleep in your apartment and wake up in the resort? am I dreaming? did I die in my sleep and this is the afterlife? and the character does not seem bothered AT ALL. it's nonsense. maybe it gets explained later but I have a hard time conjuring an explanation that would be good enough to make me look past that awful opening. I guess I enjoyed the management part so far (even if the progression is nonsensical) but the story is severely lacking. there is zero substance. and while the game is in early access and there's a chance these could get fixed, there has been 0 communication or activity from the dev on their discord so far which is never a good sign for an early access game (edited to add the devs have now in fact been quite active in the discord, answering questions and fixing bugs, so that's great!) this is the first time i've felt the need to leave a negative review on a game in like a decade of having a steam account, so do with that what you will
